OVERMOUNTAIN REDEFINES THE “ALL” IN “ALL-MOUNTAIN” RIDING. Whether you choose the Big-Mountain Claymore, the All-Mountain Jekyll and Scarlet, or the Cross-Mountain Trigger and Trigger 29’er, OverMountain’s light, tough and ultra responsive frames, and ability to change travel, shock response and geometry on the fly let you ride more of the mountain, better than ever.

FOX DYAD RT2 DUAL SHOCK

ATTITUDE ADJUST GEOMETRY

The world’s only true 2-in-one shock. Lurking inside the DYAD are two different shocks one short travel (Elevate) and one long travel (Flow) - which allow you to completely change travel, damping and geometry on the fly for the best possible performance across the widest spectrum of terrain.

Different parts of the trail demand different geometry. Climbs or tight technical terrain requires quicker handling and an efficient riding position, while flat-out descents require a lower center of gravity and stable handling. Switch between the DYAD’s two travel modes and the bike’s geometry changes with it, thanks to the difference in sag heights.

ELEVATE: Like fitting a short travel air shock to your bike. Shorter travel with a steep spring rate that delivers great traction and maximum pedaling efficiency. Dedicated damping circuit, optimized for climbing and rolling terrain. FLOW: Like switching to a long travel coil shock. Longer travel, with a linear spring rate that delivers plush predictable suspension for high speed descending. Dedicated damping circuit, optimized for maximum suppleness and control.

ELEVATE: In the shorter travel setting, there is less sag so the BB sits higher and the head and seat angles are steeper for quicker handling and powerful climbing. FLOW: In the longer travel setting, the shock gets full sag and the lower BB and slacker angles provide great high-speed stability and cornering.

ECS-TC (ENHANCED CENTER-STIFFNESS, TORSION CONTROL) SYSTEM ECS-TC is key to OverMountain’s incredibly responsive ride. A bike is only as stiff as its weakest parts, so we created the multi-part ECS-TC system to remove the flex and play from the crucial links and pivots that connect the front triangle and swingarm. Eliminating unwanted flex results in a bike that responds instantly to inputs from the rider for maximum performance and control. 15MM CLAMPED THRU-AXLES: By having the shock link and swingarm clamp directly to oversized thru-axles, the axle itself becomes a structural element preventing twisting flex. WIDE STANCE BEARINGS: All links have the bearings placed as far apart as possible to maximize stiffness. DOUBLED REAR PIVOT BEARINGS: Placing two bearings side by side in the rear pivots eliminates twisting play in the cartridge bearings for instant responsiveness.
